The Reikland Reavers were my first Blood Bowl team, close to two decades go. The figures are from the second edition Blood Bowl box with a few metal figures added. The paint scheme is definitely showing its age. A few years ago I did a quick update of the highlights on the faces but there is only so much you can do with figures painted in enamels and “sealed” with hairspray. They did me proud on the pitch though…
Blitzer: Three of the Blitzers are form the plastic boxed set with a minor conversion of the plume for one. Griff Oberwald is a Star Player Blitzer from the 2nd edition release and iconic representative of the Blood Bowl world.
Blockers: Not really a class in Blood Bowl, but there are the big lads. Mighty Zug is another Star Player. The other blocker is a first edition figure which I use for Linemen who have received a strength upgrade. The Ogre is a conversion from an old 3rd edition Warhammer figure. It was painted for my by an old as a birthday present.
Thrower: Both Throwers are from the 2nd edition plastic set. The removal of the ball (replaced by some gloved hand) is a minor conversion but something that I was quite proud of in the early days.
Catcher: The four Catchers are also from the 2nd edition plastic box.
Linemen: The Linemen are all from the 2nd edition box. I ran out of number decals so a few of them are hand-painted with my mid-90’s freehand skills.
Coaching Staff: The Coach is an old Heroquest figure from one of the expansions. The Cheerleader with harp is some non-Games Workshop figure (Reaper maybe?).
